Question

select the correct answer.
what is the ebb of the sea defined as?
a. movement of sea water toward the shore
b. movement of sea water away from the shore
c. movement of sea water into the estuarine zone
d. movement of fresh water into the sea
e. movement of fresh water replacing saline water

Explanation:

The ebb of the sea refers to the receding or outgoing tide. This means the movement of sea water away from the shore. Option A is the movement towards the shore (flood tide), option C is about movement into the estuarine zone (not relevant to ebb definition), option D is about fresh water movement (not sea water ebb), and option E is about water replacement (not ebb).

Answer:

B. movement of sea water away from the shore
